Harvin went to New York on Tuesday to meet with a hip specialist. Seahawks doctors had said that they believed the injury was not season-threatening, but Harvin exercised his right to seek a second opinion. The team had originally placed him on the physically unable to perform list to start training camp.

Seattle traded for Harvin in March and quickly signed him to a six-year, $67 million contract. The Seahawks sent a first-round and a seventh-round pick in the 2013 draft and a third-round pick in the 2014 draft to the Minnesota Vikings for Harvin.
